    Default After 7 years I think im finally done guys....

    Well im gona retire from the street racing scene.Im just burnt out.Ive done alot beat a few people and made a small neame for myself. Its been alot of fun met alot of great people.I need to get my life straight and stop getting into trouble.Im selling all me parts off the Z and it will be bone stock then sold.


    I want to start getting more involved in drifting so im building a track car so.Just want to do something different.


    Honestly im just so sick of the bickering and crying that alot of us do.Its not fun anymore all want to do it put every paycheck in my car just so I can try to keep up,but for what I ask myself?To impress a few people and to get noticed?IDK.

    Ive had a great time and I hope to see everyone soon.I will not be as they say on the "streets" lol.Be safe and have fun....

    Thanks Jason AKA "350ZFTW"

    it becomes no fun when you stop racing for fun, dont race for recognition or money, just race because its what you like to do

    if you dont like the bickering, namecalling, etc, that comes with the street racing scene then stop, take it to the track, go with friends, and take it back to where it all came from, if then you dont love racing i say give up....but giving up b/c youre sick of the way other people act or what youve become is just stupid, you will miss it in the end and come back to it anyway....take it back to simplicity

    x2,x3,x4,x5,x6. i completely agree with ya evil. but in all honesty jason if this is what you want to do then do it and stay by ur word. i have had about 15 friends say that they were "done" and 6 months later calling me asking when the next track day is. g/l on your decision............. its hard to get out the game.

    i got that....but none of the below comes into play when youre racing strictly for your enjoyment, i go out there, i have fun, if i have crap runs my friends take cheap shots and vice versa...but theres no pressure, theres no arguing, or any of the sort, just racing and hanging out having a good time

    cry me a river. you aint outta shit.

    all it would take is for one person to say "im pretty sure my car is faster than yours"

    and you wont be able to swallow your pride.

    I'll take that as a compliment Tiger. It's called growing up and eventually, everybody does it. Some things in life are more important than spending every $ you make on going faster and racing every weekend.

    Don't get me wrong, I still like to have a little spirited driving every now and then and I'm sure Jason will do the same. It's in our blood.

    You're right though Jason, it becomes more of a "I need to be faster than him" attitude and thats what gets you burnt out and it consumes you. Going faster becomes more important than anything else.

    Yep, I'm the first person to ever stop street racing every weekend. I started a trend.

    Sucks that someone like you has ruined the killsforum. I guess thats why people are moving to another site so they don't have to put up with you anymore. You have such a fan club. The Admin did a great job picking you buddy. Way to run people off!

    *Dislcaimer, My car is slow as hell

    My friends give me shit write now because I am seeing what I can get out of a 1995 Miata all motor. I get called a dumbass for not turboing. For me its about the process of slowly making the car faster. I'll run in a few weeks and shooting for 15.8, and then do somthing else and shoot for 15.5 and just slowly get the car quicker. My goal is 140 whp all motor and low 15s. Yeah, not impressive but I do it for the process. You should enjoying doing drag for the process, not for the car running beside you.(or in my case in front of me)

    thats because it is dumb not to turbo it, and you can do a diy turbo set sooooo cheap for your car.

    it happens dude, ive been over it for awhile. the scene isnt like it used to be. the good days were BP and dig runs on 985 at 4AM. theres no point in it anymore, its too dangerous and not worth it. ATL's "street scene" fuckin sucks now. I have had too many tickets, paid too many fines, been to jail, had my car impounded, almost killed myself and have had a good friend die over acting stupid in a car on the street. one day something happens and you wake up and go fuck this. what you do from there is your choice, i chose to still race but be more responsible by taking it to the track and not dump every dime i have in my car. if you chose to build a drift car then thats on you and i wish you the best of luck with it and i hope to still see you out at meets.

    FYI...anything you do, be it street racing or any other activity, will come to this end if your driving motivation is the reaction from others.

    That's why you don't see me making callouts. I have my car because I love sports cars, and I love driving mine. The races that happen are just some icing on the cake for me.
